So it can see full colour then.

I wish they'd let the video run on a bit to see the bird's reaction at finishing the task.

Here's a Friday Feelgood story of a duck saved from a train station and rehomed.

A “plump” duck has been rescued after being left on a train at Herne Hill Station in London.

The duck, named Jack by a rescuer, was found by a passenger on Friday evening as Southeastern railway alerted travellers to the incident on Twitter and requested its owner “please make yourself known” to station staff.

The duck’s saviour, Ann Aitken-Davies from London Wildlife Protection, said she named the bird Jack after the baby found in a handbag on a train station in Oscar Wilde’s play The Importance of Being Earnest.

The duck’s rescuer, Ann Aitken-Davies from London Wildlife Protection, said he was ‘plump and in very good condition’.

Lion v elephant (cuteness).

Tiffany · 10 Mar 2023

Amazing video....I don't think I ever totally realized how an elephant took in water....and then there was the lioness....OMG. I'm not sure what I watched more.

In honor of elephants, since @Retro started this new cuteness phase, I'm adding a baby elephant for Cuteness Friday.

What Makes Parrots So Intelligent?

Parrot brains are very similar to primate brains: parrots have a large region that acts as a superhighway that transmits information between the two main areas of the brain

“The SpM [medial spiriform nuclei] is very large in parrots. It’s actually two to five times larger in parrots than in other birds, like chickens.”
